= Advanced Control Panel Usage = These directions are for MFPL administrators or members who control their own servers. The [https://members.mayfirst.org/cp Members Control panel] provides extra links from users who are logged in with "server" level permissions. When logged in as a server admin, you will see three links at the top: {{{ Top Members Area Hosting Order Area }}} The "Top" area provides a top-level view of all of the members on your server. This is where you go to add a new member. The "Members Area" allows you to locate a particular member and look at their records. ''Note:'' if you want to add a hosting order to a member, you should do that from the Members area. The "Hosting Order Area" allows you to operate on a specific, single hosting order. The two items most frequently added are: new hosting orders and new members. The first task is to determine which item you want to add. If the member already exists (you can to a search from the Top area), then you don't need to add the new member, you can just add the hosting order to that membership. == Adding a new member == * Click the Top link. * Ensure that the Services drop down is set to Members * Click Add Item * Fill in the information.
